man, i love the new exaust, i got to ride all day today with the bike and it moves fast and sounds even faster. dude, you dont need the full exaust unless you plan on fully drag racing the bike or road racing the bike, the slip on exaust is what i got and its perfect. i do recomend the dampiner, the steering of the bike is real wobbly especially on hard launches.i have only been riding for a while, but i have noticed that the bike tends to lift the front wheel very easy and starts to make the steering feel whobbly.

Thanks for the feedback, I've started looking at the slip-ons more today anyway since it works better for me $$$ wise, and I like what I'm hearing bout the yoshi now but i kinda like the akra as well...so now its decision time.

[SLAM150]

hell, i love mine, its loud, but not obnoxous. it sounds like a ****ed off import car and when im at stop lights, the bike has the lumpyness of a cam in a car motor, rat tat tat, rat tat tat, rat tat tat.

ok im new on this. i dont have a kawasaki, but my dad does, and he has a Kawasaki ZX9R '99. we got done doing a fork conversion on my bike a 2001 Yamaha R6, we put R1 forks on it. anyways my dad was wondering if its possible to put ZX12R forks on his bike, he already has the forks and all the other items to do it. jst wondering if it will work.

What kind of gas mileage do other 600cc riders experience?

the most I have had is 130 miles out of a tank (filled up with bike upright and right to the top)
Usually get around 120 miles till reserve!

[SLAM150]

man, i think i got about 100 miles on one tank...

I love my new Ninja 650R this the best bike Kawasaki have ever made. Bike is great on comfort and speed.

As I mentioned Kawasaki gearboxes are noisy, the jumping means you need to have your clutch cable adjusted. When you get it serviced, tell them about it.

There is an excellent explanation for this in the current issue of Cycle World. It's in the "Service" section by Paul Dean. I couldn't find a link to post, but I will sum it up:
A reader asked about an '04 zx6r. His question was about a loud clunk shifting into 1st gear, and he said that his bike even lurched forward a bit when he made this shift.
Mr. Dean answered that the transmission mainshaft still spins even though clutch is engaged. When you engage first gear, and the mainshaft and countershaft gears mesh, the mainshaft is brought to a sudden halt(!).
He aslo advises this can be reduced by ensuring your idle speed is correct and by not "blipping" the throttle before you shift into gear.

i need air covers. i need the two ram air tube covers for a 97 zx7

The local shop wants to make a deal on an '05. Mileage is real important to me. What are people really getting? I will be using this for long range commuting, aprox 160 miles a day. I think the dealers figures are a bit optimistic. By the way I get high 30's out of a Cavalier.

[rideorwalk]

what do you all think of the 750 zx-7r, I have just gooten one thus far I love how it rides. But have not put it on the hwy as of yet .any thing i need to be looking out for ?

[Notorious1]

I am looking for the service manual for the 00-02 Kawasaki ZX6R. I think that it is out as a .pdf file, does anybody have this?

[rpe109]

hey, this is my first time ever doing this and the only way i figured out how to post a message is through a reply.. I noticed that sometimes when i shift into 2nd gear and go to romp on it, it seems liek the gear doesnt catch. the rpm's go up but the bike doesnt accelerate. then other times it doesnt mess up at all. if anyone has any ideas of whats wrong please let me know

thanks

Maybe someone can direct me in the right direction! I had a friend come to me to fix a little problem on his bike. The bike when setting the key to the off position; it stays on. You pull out the key and the light turns off but he engine still runs. I figured since its pretty beat up its probably the ignition switch. I changed it and it still did the same thing. I started to mess around with it when i found a black plug near the battery, pulled it out and plugged the battery back in and it started to work fine. Friend picked up the bike and came back in the evening telling me its doing it again. What do you think it could be?

[s.carolinakawi]

dont redline it to much like some guys do.. it will spin a bearing. QUICK

Got a question for 600 owners. At what point do you say " ok, time to buy a 600"? When im not working all the time i want to do some touring eventually on, yes; a sport bike. Not much of a touring bike kinda guy.

I am still learning on my 250r, probobly will be for a year or 2.

Hmm, did you check out kawasaki's ZZR600? It's a mix of both touring and sportbike. =P

On a side note, nice sn, i am a fan of gundamW.
